Study: Android users sad hicks, iPhone users rich girls

Today, Google bought Motorola Mobility and the world stopped.

While it did, I had time to open an e-mail from the folks at Hunch, a Web site that tries to take decisions out of your hands (and your head).

The e-mail contained an interesting infographic that offered some of the most graphic (if not always the most informational) illustration of the difference betweenAndroid users and those who prefer iPhones.

Firstly, and perhaps most stunningly, Android users are 86 percent more likely thaniPhone users to live in the countryside. what can this possibly mean? Possibly nothing, but wait. Those who prefer the little green robot are also 80 percent more likely to have only a high school diploma. They’re also 71 percent more likely to say they follow rather than lead.

Surely one of those nice illustrators in Central Park could draw a perfect picture of these people without even having one sit in front of them.

What a contrast with iPhone users. they are 67 percent more likely to have a household income of more than $200,000. they are 39 percent more likely to declare themselves high-maintenance. And they are 18 percent more likely to be women.

Please, I haven’t made any of this up. This is, allegedly, all based on responses from 15,818 Hunchers.

The infographic is so full of joyous nuggets that mere words can barely do it justice. Androiders are 71 percent more likely never to have traveled beyond the borders of the United States. they are more than 100 percent more likely to be PC users. And they adore “How I Met your Mother.”

iPhone users, world travelers that they are, loved “Midnight in Paris” and are 67 percent more likely to back up their laptops constantly. oh, and they’re 13 percent more likely to play a musical instrument.

I know the infographic will offer hours of endless mirth, laughter, and solemn shaking of heads all around the world. if it’s begun turning yet, that is.

    Prequel To Idris Elba’s “Luther” Series, Titled “Luther: The Calling,” Now Available For Purchase

    A prequel to the BBC’s critically-acclaimed Idris Elba BBC drama Luther is now in available for purchase… in the form of a paperback novel! That’s right, Neil Cross, the creator of the series, has penned a 368-page prequel novel titled Luther: The Calling, published by Simon & Schuster, and which hit UK bookstores on August 1st.

    Though, you can purchase a copy even if you don’t live in the UK. I checked Amazon.com, and there are UK-based resellers already unloading copies of the book ready to be shipped to almost anywhere in the world, starting at around $28.

    So, what’s the story here?

    Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He’s a murder detective. A near-genius. He’s brilliant; he’s intense; he’s instinctive. He’s obsessional. He’s dangerous. DCI John Luther has an extraordinary clearance rate. he commands outstanding loyalty from friends and colleagues. Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. And yet there are rumours that DCI Luther is bad – not corrupt, not on the take, but tormented. Luther seethes with a hidden fury that at times he can barely control. Sometimes it sends him to the brink of madness, making him do things he shouldn’t; things way beyond the limits of the law. Luther: The Calling, the first in a new series of novels featuring DCI John Luther, takes us into Luther’s past and into his mind. It is the story of the case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart and propelled him over the precipice. Beyond fury, beyond vengeance. all the way to murder…

    I’m guessing the case being referred to here that tore his personal and professional life apart was the one that we saw the end of in the beginning of the first episode of season 1 last year.

    Something else that stands out here is that this will be “the first in a new series of novels,” so expect more to come.

    Might one of these paperbacks (and maybe hardcovers eventually) be the source for the Luther movie that so many fans of the series are hoping for, and that Idris himself has already expressed strong interest in producing?

    Maybe… maybe not.

    In the meantime, feel free to pick up a copy, all you Luther crazies.

    I might get one myself…

    This will hold me down until Season 3; if there is one.

    Any word on whether it will be available as an e-book?

      How can I find a pro bono attorney for my child?

      My daughter is being bullied by a girl in school. Despite suspension, she has not stopped harrassing my daughter. she wants to file a restraining order against her. I have picked up the paperwork and know we can file and go through the process alone, but this girl's parents have money and will probably hire an attorney. I am a single mom that is out of a job. I want to know if anyone has any info about how to get an attorney to represent my daughter on a pro bono basis.

      What state do you live in?

      Check your state's bar association website. there should be some links. you could try findlaw.com, but I don't think that they have a pro bono referral section.

      You should try talking to a lawyer anyway. If you explain your situation and what you are able to pay, you may find an affordable attorney.

      Finally, try filing the restraining order on your own. If this girl has been suspended because of bullying, there is really little room to argue that a restraining order should not be issued.

      Good luck!

      Hey I can help you the same thing happened to my girlfriend family, and she got a prepaid legal membership only paying like $35 a month for access to the best lawfirms. the guy who signed her up his website is prepaidlegal.com/hub/ocarswell
      so contact him or me for more info this would be the best option

      In Pennsylvania, most county bar associations have a list of local attorneys who handle cases on a "pro bono" basis. in Dauphin County [Harrisburg], Pennsylvania, association members who are not governmental attorneys are required to perform pro bono service or pay an assessment to the association.

      The courthouse usually has people to help with the paperwork process, that's all you really need.. Once you get in front of the judge plead your case and I hope you have some proof….

      Ask around, go to law firms, or call some lawyers and explain your situation, I'm sure they will either help by doing it, or help by giving you someone else to call.

        Christian told to stand firm in their faith April 22, 2011

        Kumasi, April 22, GNA – Christians have been asked to encourage all people to have a place in their hearts to forgive wrongs and accept to live in total peace and harmony.

               

        Apostle Appiah Aidoo, Head Pastor of the Bohyen District Church of Pentecost, said it should not be lost on anybody the significance of Christ death, which was to reconcile mankind with God so as to help them to be at peace with themselves and their neighbours.

               

        He was delivering a good Friday message at an Easter Convention of the Church at Kropo in Kumasi.

               

        The five-day event is being held under the theme: “The crucified Jesus is both Lord and Christ.”

               

        Apostle Aidoo advised the congregation to stand firm in their faith and to denounce evil.

               

        He said current events in the world were clear signs that the end was nearing and it was therefore important they prayed unceasingly and worked hard towards their own salvation.

               

        He also urged them to be wary of charlatans out there deceiving people through strange Bible teachings.

               

        Ms Gifty Osei, a woman leader of the church, urged them to distance themselves from immoral acts such as adultery, prostitution and cheating.

               

        She said they should devote their time to the service of God and the cause of humanity.
